The first dances I ever went to were in the summer of 1971 in Pontoon Ballroom, a few miles from Foxford. I remember seeing Chips there and the Plattermen. I also remember that the song Tom Tom Turnaround was a big hit at the time and a great number for the slow dancing!

liamo, I agree with you. These youngsters think they heard the best bands but we know better. Our era was the best. Cheesy

There is too much Hate in the World. Love (any kind of Love) is fine by me.
